The Name of War

In this award-winning audiobook, Jill Lepore explores King Philip's War, the devastating conflict between English colonists and Wampanoag Indians in 1675, which became the bloodiest war in American history relative to population. The narrative details the brutal tactics employed by both sides and how the war catalyzed a hardening of cultural boundaries that have persisted through the centuries. Lepore argues that the legacies of this conflict continue to influence contemporary perceptions of identity and cultural memory, illustrating the profound impact of how we remember historical events.
